You Won't Mind Wearing Your Hair Up in This Sizzling Heat With These Fancy Elastics

Stylish hair elastics are a key part of our summer sartorial strategy. (Credit: Courtesy of Zara)

It's no newsflash that this summer has been a real scorcher. We've all been walking around in tank tops, cutoffs and flip flops for the majority of the season. Luckily, there are plenty of plum pieces to choose from in all three categories. One of the major drawbacks of this heat is frizzy, sweaty hair. The solution? Ponytails, buns and top knots, of course. Sure, you can wrap them up with a basic black hair tie, but that's downright boring. Which is why we're working stylish hair elastics into our mane accessory game.

Metallics rule. There's ample silver and gold options out there. Think of them as hair jewelry. Zara supplies several selections. From a striped metal scrunchie to a textured floral mini masterpiece, you really can't lose. A couple of big fashion houses are also in the chat. Erdem's hearty charm take reads a touch coquette and is a welcome departure from all of the hair bows we've been inundated with lately. Gucci pretty much puts its logo on everything. Take its cord hair tie with interlocking gold-tone Gs. (Although Erdem's hair tie is more reasonably priced at $89 compared to $440.)

If it's a deal you're after, listen up. In addition to the frugal Zara finds, Anthropologie is a fine source for affordable stylish elastics. J.Crew's three-pack of bauble ties and ridged metal holder are both steals at $24.50 and $19.50, respectively. If you can spare to spend a tad more, LELET NY's pony cuffs are must-haves.
